"Real" Nightmare in Valencia: Loss, Lost Leader Position and Hazard's Renewed Injury

"Real Madrid" team is not welcoming the biggest challenges of the season in the best mood. On Saturday evening, Zinedine Zidane's team suffered an unexpected defeat in Valencia and lost the leader position in the "La Liga" championship. This was the first failure for the "Real" team since October. Next week, the representatives of the Spanish capital will face two important matches - a Champions League match against "Manchester City" and "El Clasico" in the country's championship. Furthermore, the Madrid team may have to face this challenge without Eden Hazard, who played only his second match after injury. In the second half, he felt pain in the same calf again and was substituted. The only and winning goal of the match came in the 79th minute, when Jose Morales, after a long pass, surprised an unprepared Thibaut Courtois with a shot from a sharp angle. The visitors did not have an answer to the beautiful goal scored into the "Real" net. In this match, "Real" had a total of 20 shots, 7 of which were on target. However, the "whites" lacked a "killer" instinct in attack and had to pay for it with lost points. Meanwhile, Barcelona, who won their match against "Real," gained a two-point lead. The next weekend, a clash between these teams will take place at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium. Result: "Levante" 1 - 0 "Real Madrid" 79' [1 - 0] J. Morales
